Quality improvement using electronic medical records: a case study of a high-performing practice
Top Health Inf Manage.

Abstract
Electronic medical record (EMR) systems are useful tools that can help primary care practices improve clinical care; however, the successful implementation of an EMR system depends on dedicated users who optimize the system to suit their practice needs. This case study describes the strategies a solo, family physician practice has adopted to improve care as part of a national cardiovascular disease prevention study.
